On Thursday 9 January Sergeant Anna Wilson who leads the team policing Moseley and Kings Heath is inviting the public to send in questions or feedback through an online web chat .

Residents will be able to ask questions live to Sergeant Wilson between 5pm and 6:30pm.

You can remain anonymous and there is no need to register. You will also be able to see the questions that other people are asking. If you can’t tune in between 5pm and 6:30pm you will be able to replay the event after it has finished.

What better way to guess the kind of animals we have in the park than to capture their paw and claw prints when it snows.
I braved the elements this morning to capture these photos.
Some of the prints are pretty obvious, like the cat print. And the bird prints too, but which bird. And I guess there are some fox and squirrel prints too, but there are some I just couldn't even guess at!
Take a look and take a guess!

This is quite exciting! If you like facts and figures about your neighbour hood, you will love the newly released Census data about Wake Green Park.....and beyond. There is a world outside the park, or so I've heard ;)

In addition to this blog, I've just created a Facebook Group for WGP Residents. Metro PM have been invited to join too.

The reason for starting the Facebook Group is to encourage discussion in a neighbourly way. Feel free to chat about WGP news, issues, events, offers, or help needed perhaps, or whatever you like! Well, within reason and decency of course ;)

Metro PM, please feel free to use the group to post any WGP news or updates that you wish to share and join in the discussion.

The group isn't to replace this blog, it's in addition to it. I can't always update as often as I would like to here, but I hope that there will be some active WGP chat over on Facebook.

Layar is a service that will, to use their words, enables the enhancement of real world objects with digital information, so in layman’s terms you use your phone to look at a building and the browser will overlay some information to it using augmented reality.

Once you have powered up Layar on your phone, you can find the hypARlocal layer and open it up.

If you take a walk through Wake Green Park, all the geotagged blog posts will pop up for you to see and read, and because the blog post is geotagged you can be directed to the exact place on the map

With big thanks to Mike Cummins from B13.org (a great resource for all things Moseley!), who has cleverly pulled in all the data, we now have a map showing crime data within 1 mile radius of Wake Green Park!

You can find the interactive map here, and you can select the month you wish to view from the drop down box on the top right hand corner. The data covers from December 2010 to Jan 2012.

Now that the Police are making all this data public, it's a great chance to stay informed about what's going on in and around where we live.

Fortunately, here in Wake Green Park, we have an extremely low crime rate compared to other areas. With the security measures in place here, and with use of common sense, this keeps the crime rate low

As the police remind us (you can follow West Midlands Police on twitter @wmpolice), keep valuables out of sight in your car, and keep doors and windows locked when you are out. Don't forget to lock your garage too, just in case you have any valuables in there (thought we are advised not to keep any valuables in our garages at all).
